Andrew Newell Wyeth, Christina's World (1948)

(Andrew Newell Wyeth born on July 12, 1917 – January 16, 2009, Andrew was a visual artist, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century and was sometimes referred to as the "Painter of the People," due to his work's popularity with the American public.)wikipedia

Wyeth is a famous artist across the world for his beautiful paintings. “Christina's World” is one of Wyeth popular and famous paintings; at first glance I liked the painting. The painting itself is very bright and serial; it seems like its telling a story of its own and has more meaning behind the painting.

The Door of Dreams, Georges De Feure


Georges De Feure, one of the artists from the art movement “Art Nouveau”. This painting “The Door of Dreams” is a classic example of Art Nouveau painting, the use of bright and bold colours really attracted me. Georges wasn’t only influenced by the movement “Art Nouveau” but also “symbolism” which really collaborates with his works of “Art Nouveau” because of it serial nature and appearance it makes his paintings different from other “Nouveau” artists.

Jacob Lawrence - The Migration of the Negro (panel No.1), 1940-41, casein, tempera on hardboard, 12 x 18 inches


Lawrence referred to his style as "dynamic cubism”, at first I thought his influence was of French art .e.g. Pablo Picasso but his primary influence was the shapes and colors of Harlem, which is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Lawrence was only in his twenties when his "Migration Series" made him famous, one of the paintings “The Migration of the Negro” shows the hardship of what Black African Americans went thought to get to where there are now, and this painting in my opinion somehow shows this and how Lawrence uses the colours also gives it a sad mood to it.
